Destiny: Rise of Iron

Well, I'm still playing, though infrequently due to moving very soon.  Today was the reveal stream for the latest expansion for Destiny called the Rise of Iron.  Quickly:

  • $30 USD
  • New Crucible Mode, several maps
  • New RAID!!!
  • New Story, quests and cut scenes
  • New Area - The Plaguelands
  • New Social Area - Felwinter's Peak
  • New Enemies - Mutated Fallen - they got freaky with a techno-disease
  • You get to become an Iron Lord!!!
  • Oh, and G-Horn is returning!  Pre-Order to get it in black, otherwise there is a quest for it.  I'm not sure what shape the G-Horn will be in though if it's going to be given to everyone like that....I'm going to play with it tonight again!

So I'm super excited for it!   I still enjoy the game in spurts.  It's not a game that I can play for days on end anymore (and I think that's OK), but for a little bit, it's still super fun.  Needless to say, I can't wait!

Anyone else going to jump in with me?

i'm still playing destiny.  Enjoying it as well.  I've been making sure to do the weekly Challenge in POE as well as a King's Fall raid once a week.  Looking forward to this DLC.  Not a fan of the new armor shown for the titan class.  I believe that gear was a play on the new enemies.

I think each class wore example armour.  Like the Titan is raid, the hunter was trials, and the warlock was iron banner.

I hope I have enough time this week to do in for a helm.  I've mostly stayed away becuase I was doing other stuff than PvP, but I'm starting suck way less.

I've never played destiny,  I was gonna go pick it up today. Is there still a decent community for the noob's to start from the beginning? 

If on Xbox 1 I'll help you out anytime

Ps4 thanks though.  I played for a little while yesterday.  Seems like all the early game stuff You can solo.

Actually, you can solo most of the game. It's not until you start doing strikes that you need teammates.  Once you hit 40, you'll do a lot of those.

I'd also suggest you get into the PvP. It will help your gun game big time! I had so much fun this past week in iron banner. Almost to rank 5, but there is next time. If you don't get mad at the PvP, it can be fun.

Welcome!

So there is a story mode. The missions are planet based.  You can check quest log to find out what's next.  You'll go from earth, to the moon, to Venus and to Mars.  That's vanilla.  Then The Dark Below quests start with Eris Morn. The House of Wolves with Petra Venge in the reef.  Then the Taken King starts off on Phobos.

You can play any of the missions in any order at 25.  You'll have to do the main story first (don't quote me, I have finished with my warlock yet).

You can hope into the Crucible. I don't know how familiar you are with FPS games, but Destiny is a different beast in some regards. Just try to have fun.  Year one, I swore off Crucible becuase of the Thorn quest... ugh!

The short version: enjoy the game, do read the grimoire, and don't stress too much.  You can worry about stuff at level 40. Like iron banner, trials, raids and stuff.  I'd recommend that you do the planetary strikes before you leave each planet.  They are fun.

I hope this helps!  Please look me up if you're on Xbox one, Dionysusfiend!

Oh Doc, the destiny app is fairly useful.  But be very careful of the forums...toxic...like worse than the Tinderbox!

well went from level 28 to 38 today, just getting off now, main quest, the darkness below and the taken king all completed today.  Its a decent bit of fun, tho but finding players is hard

      His o loaded with swift, dj, Keenan and Rome was inconsistent at best. The d was bad. And the game management was atrocious and lost them games.  He was terrible and made the team worse. I wish they kept him

      That is my point.  I think teams make a huge mistake when they pay their decent to average QBs top QB money because they feel that they have to match the market or lose their investment--There is no way, for example, that Tua or Prescott or Murray should all be making more than Mahomes--I mean, Dak makes $15m per season more than Mahomes. People say, "Well, when its his turn...." But that is not how it should be--so my point was that Bryce can be doing mediocre to good enough in 2 years, but the way it is going, you have to pay him at the starting QB rate--currently $60m.  So even if you think he will continue to improve, at $60 m, he would eliminate any chance for a ring---so my view is, if he is not elite, you cut him.  So you draft QBs now and see what you can make of them.

      With two 4ths and three 5ths I’m hoping we can kill it on adding depth. Take a gamble with the two 7ths.  First 3 picks id love to address the defense. I expect Tuttle, Robinson, and Jewell to all be on the 2025 roster but not after that. Be a good time to add depth and let them develop a year.
